About JDP-205
JDP-205 is a proprietary injectable product being developed for the treatment of acute allergic reactions for the hospital market. A market QUANT study surveyed 110 physicians, and revealed that 86% of responding doctors had indicated readiness to use JDP-205 in place of the current therapy when the product is approved by the FDA. A second independent market research study with in-depth clinician interviews confirmed the findings.
Acute allergic reaction is a serious, potentially life-threatening, condition and has been growing at concerning rates with very limited options for treatment. JDP-205 will offer a superior treatment to the current therapy for the first time in over 60 years.
